One last quote from the Emacs info system:
`makeinfo' Preferred
====================
The `makeinfo' utility creates an Info file from a Texinfo source
file more quickly than either of the Emacs formatting commands and
provides better error messages. We recommend it. `makeinfo' is a C
program that is independent of Emacs. You do not need to run Emacs to
use `makeinfo', which means you can use `makeinfo' on machines that are
too small to run Emacs. You can run `makeinfo' in any one of three
ways: from an operating system shell, from a shell inside Emacs, or by
typing a key command in Texinfo mode in Emacs.
The `texinfo-format-region' and the `texinfo-format-buffer' commands
are useful if you cannot run `makeinfo'. Also, in some circumstances,
they format short regions or buffers more quickly than `makeinfo'.
